Inhabited since the ancient times, at the
same time as ancient Epidauros , and referenced since
1342. It obtains its latest historic existence during the
byzantine times with the castle which is reinforced later
by the Franks.

| The most important place in New Epidauros is
the square named 1st National Assembly sq. The cannon
which was used to greet the declaration of the Greek
political existence and independence as well as a
memorial plate still exist. The residents of New
Epidauros took then the privilege to be tax-exempt. The imposing castle on top of the hill and the sea 3km further give the visitor the impression that the town swings into the blue. The view from the castle, down to the fertile plain and to islands Aegina, Methana and Aggistri, is really captivating. |
